Ali, Well, let the facts speak for themselves. He does say the 1124 also implements a custom cooling solution....sounds like air ducts etc to me?
In addition the performance seems good, kicked the xeons to death while being slower all the while.
I find it hard to criticise him for not adhering to standard engineering report format as long as the facts were truly reported.

Ali, Re: This kid probably will never grow up. The whole "review" is so blatantly amateurish.

While it's easy to criticize other people's skills, it is another thing to do it better. Anand is by far the best of the "mainstream" hardware enthusiasts sites IMO with unbiased, fair and thorough reviews. There are clearly some points where he is mistaken or completely wrong but since he has to cover almost everything from processors over severs to video cards, his overall knowledge is amazing IMO. Especially when you consider his age.

Having said that I think the 760MP server review bodes very well for other smaller websites or companies to try out Athlon MP.
